fiat panda cigar lighter fuse

Answers and questions: fiat panda cigar lighter fuse

Hello peeps Im off camping at the weekend I have a small trailer to pull behind the panda 4x4 with all my gear in it. That includes a 72 amp hour leisure battery for powering tent lights cool-box etc. So I want to charge the leisure battery from the cigarlighter plug on the panda when moving. I have a long lead with two cigarlighter plugs on it one goes in the panda socket the other plugs into the

hi What towbar have you got on the 4x4 ....and where did you get it fitted how much etc etc any cuts in bumper any picures Thanks

Im slightly confused. Youre going to run a wire from the cigarette lighter socket through the car out the boot over the hitch and into the trailer Towbars in the UK which have a second socket are signed for charging a battery - one of the terminals is switched 12V. Have you got a second (grey) socket on the towbar H

Have a look for the original wiring if not wire it with a fuse direct to the battery.

so i get some thick electric wire and a fuse. wire from ligther to fuse (soldered cus im lazy lol) then more wire soldered then onto positive side of battery. then wire from ligther to earthloom (hedgehog) am i right in this should be easy to do otherwise the 4 years of electronics in school was a waste lol thanks J

lighter 12v fuse holder 17 amp wire on small reel and i connect it all together with my soldering iron then connect it to the earth(hedgehog(i think)) on drivers wing and positive on battery if ive got soemthing wrong pelase say as im goingto buy it in a bit thanks J Attached Thumbnails &nbsp __________________ Jonathan Waller Current 98 106 GTi 87 Jaguar XJ40 Sovereign 3.6 Mini City 1000 Past fiat

Hi all Could someone help link me to somewhere with some information on fitting a cig lighter socket so I can plug my FM transmitter in I know on higher spec pandas its between the Handbrake and the cup holders but mine (Active 1.1) is a little storage box. I cant put it in the glovebox as I need to be able to cradle my iPhone in the FM Transmitter (Belkin TuneBase). Any help greatly appreciated Thanks.

connected to the fusebox... Im hoping (as I want to do mine) that its just a case of missing a fuserelay and not that I have to pull the thing to bits and get the crimping pliers out... here is a picture of a 100hp fuse box (that I asked for a while ago on here) and my fusebox on the 1.1 Active Eco ... as you can see there are several things missing Attached Thumbnails &nbsp __________________ fiat

is there any chance one of you with the cigarette lighter could take a pic of the fuse box (so I can see the fuses and relays etc)... thanks...

Hi all Just Curious to know - We have an original 54 reg 1.1 active panda and it has a cigarette lighter - i have no idea if it works as ive never tried it however it looks well used so i guess it does (We bought the car used) What I would like to know is - would this lighter socket be powerful enough to safely charge a mobile phone over a long period Or is it likely to fuse the circuit Nick

Have been reading the posts re not having a cigarette lighter in a panda eco 2010 didnt actually notice we didnt have one till i wanted to charge my phone anyway was going to use the great guide posed on how to install one till i found out i dont have the fuse 85 in my box does that mean theres no wiring to the socket or just that they are too mean to put the actual fuse in the box but the wiring and power is there

I have pulled up the blank and ive got the white connector but no fuse in the box i am assuming that because i have the connector they were just too stingy to put in the fuse but i presume the power cable is in place if this is the case i would buy the fuse and the stuff to make it a workable item..please dont assume i know anything about electrics..cause i dont lol

thanks there in lies the problem i dont know anyone who can do this for me unless i go to the garage where we get the mot and he charges quite a bit in labour though when the service is due i may ask him to put in a fuse and check it then im not in a hurry to have this done just narked that fiat made it optional

Im looking to fit one Ive read up on how to fit them looked under the blank to find I dont have the white connector there Is there a way to put one on or at least find the possible connector without taking up the entire inside

If the connector IS there it doesnt mean its connected to the fuse box the other end some have them connected some dont Are you trying to power a device or light your rollies Heres a 12v power kit its not it light your fags. httpwww.ebay.co.ukitmfuseD-12v-Accessory-cigarette-lighter-Power-Socket-Kit-180502761187ptUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM& hashitem2a06cd8ee3 Most get fitted in the glove box

Hi was wondering if anyone might have an idea about this. After a year of owning my 05 panda I get in the car after work and find the lighter isnt lit up nor would it charge my sat nav. Bought a new one from the local service centre and swapped them round tonight. It lights up fine but still isnt charging anything at all. So before I take it to a garage I thought Id ask here for some advice if possible. Thanks in advance

THe 12v socket (or lighter) has its own fuse in the fuse box under the bonnet by the battery (separate to the light around the socket). Marked F44 on the diagram inside the lid of the fuse box and a picture thats supposed to be a cigarette with smoke over is. Is that 20amp fuse OK Pete g3zdm thanked for this post

After getting the fuse out and dropping it into the engine i finally found it again and there was a small burn mark changed it with a new one from Halfords and all is working again. Thanks Herts Hillhopper.

Glad I helped - press the thanks button (thumbs up at bottom of each message...) -- useful for others to see Now -- to blow a 20amp fuse takes some doing (20 amps at 12 volts is over 240 watts -- equiv to the current from 4 main beam bulbs). Its OK to just replace it but really you need to explore what made it fail. You sat nav shouldnt use that much power.

I have just acquired a panda 1.1 Active and it came without the smokers pack. Now this is a little inconvenient as I have nowhere to plug my Tom tom phone charger and a multitude of other gadgetry Simple I thought I will go but a socket and facia trim from fiat and plug it in to the connector that exists below the oddment tray How wrong I was No power The light comes on when I turn the lights on but

Why did you buy the 1.1 in the first place Its rubbish... Obviously you have to find a permanent 12V source from the fuse box and draw a cable to power your GPS. OR you could try the permanent line from the radio(radios have two sources battery and ACC). Why dont you ask from the dealers electrician to do that for you

Originally Posted by mountainmachine Well glad you got it sorted out anyhow.

Put an in line fuse on the main power stud and then unpicked all of the tape round the plastic loom wrap ran the wire inside with the original loom removed the black trim from under

My daughters panda was not fitted with a power socket as standard. I bought one which fits between the 2 front seats if you take out a little storage tray. Under the storage tray I was happy to find an electric feed with a plug which fits perfectly into the lighter socket. When turning the headlights on the light on the power socket works however the socket itself does not. Im trying to find the fuse

Hi First of all thanks for all the great info in this forum. But here my Q goes Im having some troubles with my 12V jack (the lighter-jack). I would like to use it as a power source to i.e. my cell-phone and PDA. It works allmost allright but it seems that the jack does NOT match EXACTLY the different things ive trying to connect. It is a bit hard to explain but it seems that the jack in my car is

Hi I would just inform you that Ive found a solution to my 12V splitter problem. I know most of the readers in this forum are from the UK - but just in case any Danes have the problem A twin jack from the Danish shop Merlin ( www.merlin.dk ) fits 100% in a fiatpanda 12V jack The ones you can buy in the Danish shops Harald Nyborg and T-Hansen does not fit correctly in the fiatpanda jack. It was the one from T-Hansen which broke my fuse... But Im happy now.

Anyone know if i can find and fit a cigarette lighter easily I want to be able to run my FM transmitter without batteries. Thanks Ben

Took me ages but its all done now Wrongly assumed that i needed to remove the dash which took a fair while as i didnt know what was attached and what wasnt. Then i had the issue of removing the radio without any removal tools eventually got it out with 4 kebab skewers (This bit took forever) and found a singal removal key behind the radio s Anyway the wiring was already there. The lighter just plugged

Yep i meant the lighter bit. Not expecting it to light up though. The wires were already in there with the sockets on the end too. So i guess theyre absolutly fine how hard is it to put in a fuse

Hi Reading some posts here suggests that my partner is not the only one who is missing the powerciggy socket from her panda Talk about being tight fiat .... Anyway the problem I am facing is where to obtain the said kit (other than the stealers). I need a lighter socket and the plastic tub thing with the hole in it for the socket. I dont need the lighter itself as we are non-smokers Any nice sites for this Thanks CJ

httpwww.nexxia.co.ukproduct.asp...codeNX-MFS-PK Have a look on the site above youll find fuses with a extra tail off one side to power add-ons without chopping into cables. The do standars & Mini-fuses. Of course youll need to pick up an earth somewhere too. I got a pair of single surface mounted sockets CW cables from Halfords a couple of years ago. Theres enough cable on them to have one either side of the dash on the Voyager & still route the cables tidy I recon theyd do front & rear of a panda.

Ive purchased the standard fiatpandacigarette lighter power supply for my car to find out the wires what should be connected to it are not live. There are three wired in a connector one yellow black and blue. Is it possible to connect these wires to be live or would I have to install new live wires for the power socket if so what will I need to buy and is there a step by step guide to do this

Really So you checked for fuse F85 Checked with a Multimeter 1 wire is ground 1 switched and 1 for the light. gr J Most Easterly pandas liked this post

Hi I was wondering if you could help me. I want to install a cigarette lighter into my 92 fiatpanda Dance. Could anyone give me any tips on how to do this or some kind of link to a walkthrough. I have tried the Haynes book and its useless. Thank you in advance

welcome to the forum have you got the lighter yet if not you can get them from car acessory shops they come with instructions. its just 2 wires on them or 3 if it has a lamp in it but if you already got one the bottom wire goes to a fused live the side one goes to earth.

Hi I have an 06 plate fiatpanda Active and when i bought the car i found there was no cigarette lighter point. Obviously i would like to get one fitted as theres only so much battery life on a sat nav...and i need it for long journeys So i was wondering if anyone has had this done and knows of a rough price of how much it would cost and any recommended places to go get it done any well known garages

www.dun-bri.comShowDetails.aspid129 This link will give you an idea of the cost of a socket. Then you need to find a suitable panel to drill and fit it. Finally you need to wire it to a suitable fuse on the fusebox. Sadly the centre console cannot be used as there is a tray on the 1.1 Active rather than a raised section where the socket fits on other models. Ive thought about this modification for

if your only going to run a sat nav off it get a cheap 12v extension socket wire it directly to the battery or solder it to the fuse box live supply via a fuse say 3A that should work fine tuck it into the glove box when not in use .. or pannel mount something like this... both from maplin.com

Anyone having a bit of trouble with their cigarette lighter in the front on the 100HP On my car its a bit shoddy and most things I plug into come out quite easily mobile phone charger satnav lead snooper lead. It just doesnt seem a decent fit with anything. Never had this problem with other cars it always seemed a lot bet fit. Any replaced the socket for a better one Andy

Had the same problem chargers kept popping out for phones tvs and sat nav. Bought a 4 way socket from Halfords and it has a small plug and sits in perfectly. Only main problem I have the fuse keeps blowing for some unknown reason even when nothing is connected to it when I go to use it the fuse always seems to be blown the 20amp one under the bonnet.
